We created the Fledgling Engagement Lab to extend and deepen our support for documentary filmmakers interested in maximizing the social impact of their projects and building collaborative relationships with their peers.

ABOUT THE LAB

The Fledgling Engagement Lab brings together a small number of social issue documentary film teams along with experts and mentors to design and implement effective outreach and engagement strategies. It is designed to support each project team and maximize the film’s social impact. Participants become Fledgling Fellows. The Lab is open to documentary film projects that are in the early stages of planning and executing outreach and engagement and meet Fledgling’s grant criteria. Film teams are invited to the Lab based on their commitment to outreach and engagement, stage of project and their collaborative spirit. The Lab includes a series of focused residencies and online and in-person gatherings, in which these Fledgling Fellows work with one another and with experts to craft their social impact goals and strategies for achieving and documenting them. We share this impact and learning through

We were thrilled to have the support of the Dobkin Family Foundation and the Union Square Fund for the 2016 Engagement Lab. We also are grateful to the advisors and experts who contributed their expertise and knowledge along the way.

“Fledgling supported our interactive media impact working group which has led to a wonderful community of thought leaders, academics, creators and activists learning more about the impact space for interactive storytelling. It is gratifying to work with an organization so thoughtful and forward-thinking in their work – their commitment to the field is evident in everything they do and working with them taught me a great deal about how to be a better funder.”
